In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

   Chapter 37 37. Little boots

   "da, da, da, da"

   There was a very soft sound that was hard to attract the attention of others, but Jon, whose left ear was always pressed against the floor through the sleeping bag, couldn't help but tense up.

  He knew what he had been waiting for was coming!

  The subtle footsteps sounded from far to near, and the people walking on the promenade seemed to be very careful, not daring to take too fast steps, just moving forward step by step.

   Soon, the voice had reached Jon's ears. He held his breath, and saw a pair of old leather boots through the gap under the wooden door!

Those boots are not very big, obviously not suitable for adults, but for the owner of these boots, it looks very suitable, as if the owner of the feet is about the same age as Jon and the others It's the same!

  Jon was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't have time to think about it so much, he quickly got out of his sleeping bag, didn't take the risk to open the door, but directly found Mag who was watching the night in the middle of the restaurant.

   "There's someone out there, Professor!"

  Meg's face has never been so serious. She didn't express any doubts about Jon's words, but immediately stood up and walked to the restaurant door and opened it!

  The moment she looked towards the corridor, a door just happened to be gently closed.

   Mag drew out her wand, she didn't look back, and slowly closed the restaurant door with her hands behind her back.

  The light on the corridor was not bright, but it was enough to let her know that there were indeed people here just now!

   Walked to the place where the figure disappeared. The doors here were all next to each other. Mag was not sure which room the person hid in, and she didn't just go in and search blindly.

Now that Slughorn is injured, not to mention Filch's combat power, Hagrid must keep an eye on the carriage in such a situation, and she is the only protective force in the entire carriage. If a battle occurs on the carriage, she will It is impossible to have more effort to ensure the safety of the students.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mag quickly walked to the door of Dumbledore's office at the end of the corridor. The door was not locked. She opened the door directly. There was no one inside, only a phoenix with colorful feathers standing on the golden door. The branch stared at Meg who pushed open the door.

   "Fox, you need to go to the square and ask Moody and Kingsley to bring someone over immediately!"

  Fox tilted his bird's head, and then it spread its crimson wings, a golden light enveloped its whole body, and then it disappeared into the office.

  The carriage was cast with the same anti-apparition magic as Hogwarts Castle. The wizard had no way to teleport directly into the carriage, and had to rely on the ability of the phoenix.

  During the waiting period, McGonagall stood on the corridor all the time, making sure that no one came out of any room.

She didn't have to wait long, the golden light that was exactly the same as when Fox left illuminated the entire corridor, and the scarlet bird brought seven or eight people to the ground, among them were old wizards who were old and disabled, and some were young and beautiful Witches and dark-skinned wizards with steady eyes and so on.

   "What's the matter, McGonagall?"

  Moody's magic fake eye was spinning non-stop, and he started to scout the surrounding area as soon as he got to the carriage.

   Mag took a deep breath and quickly explained the current situation.

"We encountered Death Eaters, Dumbledore and the others are stopping them, Slughorn is seriously injured and lying in the infirmary, but now a person who should not have come in the carriage, I want to watch the students, I don’t have any extra energy to search, and I need your help!”

  Moody calmly drew out his wand, and the seven witches and wizards who came from the square by his side also stood up their wands in front of them.

   "Of course, when the accident happened last time, we couldn't come here because we were busy with Dumbledore's account in Finland. We will definitely not miss anything this time."

   "I haven't been back for a long time, I really miss this place." The fashionable witch with curly hair like pink bubble gum took a deep breath of the air in the car with a look of enjoyment.

  Wearing gold earrings, the dark-skinned wizard reminded her next to her.

   "Don't take this as a back-to-school visit, you have already experienced some things, Tonks, stay alert and be vigilant."

   "Of course I know. It's a pity that Bill and the others are still in Finland and haven't come back. Otherwise, they will definitely come here together."

   Lead Moody glared at them with his original eye.

   "Stay away! Stop chatting about these gossips, and check all the rooms on the carriage immediately!"

  The wizards of the Order of the Phoenix began to separate in groups of two, starting from the few rooms McGonagall pointed out to them, and carefully inspected them.

   While Mag returned to the dining room, most of the students had already fallen asleep. They were not disturbed by the unexpected situation in the carriage, and Jon was still thinking about the pair of boots he saw through the crack of the door just now.

  Meg didn't wake up the other little wizards. After returning, she directly took Jon to an empty corner of the restaurant, and said in a solemn tone.

   "Green, tell me what you saw."

  Jon didn't hesitate or hesitate, and told what he saw and all the guesses he had just thought of.

   "I saw someone walking through the crack of the door, Professor, he doesn't look like a grown-up wizard, and his boots are small and worn out, unless he's the same size as Professor Flitwick."

   Mag frowned, and she looked at the shoes on Jon's feet.

   "Are those boots bigger than your shoes?"

   Jon shook his head and said.

   "It's about the same as my shoes, but it looks a little smaller."

  His words made McGonagall immediately confirm the number of first and second graders in the restaurant. After checking that there was no shortage of personnel, she fell into deep thought, and Jon reminded softly at this time.

   "Professor, I think it is unlikely that that person is a little wizard, and someone with such a body size in the wizarding world is not necessarily a wizard."

   Mag suddenly turned his head, staring at Jon.

   "Say what you think, Green."

"When I was reading in the library, I knew that there had been a rebellion of humanoid magical creatures in the magic world before, Professor." Jon said calmly, "The rebellion of goblins, the book says that they are generally thin and small, and they can use A set of magic that is different from wizards. And house elves, these creatures have always been servants of pure-blood wizards. They are loyal to their masters, and they can also use magic. More importantly, they are also the same size as goblins. They're all small!"
